Gabriel Knight - Sins of the Fathers
Submitted by: Dj Simo
This file is not a step by step ("click here then click there") but a guide
on what to do on each day with solutions to the harder problems .
Otherwise it would have taken a 1meg txt file to tell the whole thing .
Remember this is a HIGHLIGHT ! (I'll go straight to the kill and skip the
"talk about this and that") to get over with that particular day.
Things to do everyday :
Read the newspaper.
Ask Grace about any new messages.
Things to do if you are stuck :
Ask Grace to do some research. (maybe something poped up).
Miscellaneous :
When you talk to anybody , read and ask about evrything on the list, talk
about the same subject until what they say repeat itself or they dont have
anything else to say on the matter.
As the discussion progresses, new options for the dialog will appear.
Remember that the (!) icon can be used to talk to the characters.
Talk to everybody at every the locations present on the map.
Also, look at everything present on the screen, try to manipulate the
object present for some fun.
Show your evidences to everybody for points and if it is
appropriate (and logical) (no point in trying to give grandma a heart attack)
Watch then talk : watch the cut scene then talk to whoever is there.
I will not describe the cut scenes that happen after certain actions have
been executed.
Bug : (for version 1.0 all floppy disk based, not CD-Rom)
-----
The main game engine is bugged. It uses a sort of memory dump as game saves.
The game is also very sensitive to your config -> boot from a boot disk with
minimal config.sys and autoexec.bat . NO EMS,TSR,etc....
something minimal like "himem.sys and mouse.dev loader"
Beyond that and the game will have bugs : old text not correctly erased and
staying on screen, system error messages, crash on day 7.
